Leaked IPCC report reveals coastal communities around the world will be destroyed. Global banking on board with UN-backed climate principles.

Here we go, again.

The Scotsman (via Webpage Archive): Leaked IPCC report reveals coastal communities around the world will be destroyed.

A new UN report is set to issue a stark warning on the impact of climate change on oceans and frozen areas, amid a push to ratchet up efforts to tackle the crisis.

The latest in a series of special reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is being published in the same week as countries meet at the UN for a summit aimed at upping ambitions on tackling global warming.
[.]
[The study] warn[s] of huge increases in flooding damage, melting ice caps and glaciers and more ocean heatwaves that bleach and kill coral.

A draft of the report leaked to AFP suggested that if global temperatures rise to 2C above pre-industrial levels, 280 million people could be displaced by rising seas.

This report was leaked. Yeah. Sure. That's believable.

What if the IPCC report is wrong and the reality of their outlook is far, far worse than they ever imagined? Shouldn't there be a mass exodus of people living near bodies of water who immediately put their homes up for sale and start moving inland? Why wait? Why take the chance? When the Elites start abandoning their ocean property, let the rest of us know.

Global financial institutions have caved to the U.N. and the worldwide, self-induced climate crisis hyperbole.

SBS News: Banks worth $69 trillion commit to new UN-backed climate principles.

Banks with more than $69 trillion in assets, or a third of the global industry, have adopted new UN-backed "responsible banking" principles to fight climate change that would shift their loan books away from fossil fuels.

Deutsche Bank, Citigroup and Barclays were among 130 banks to join the new framework on Sunday on the eve of a United Nations summit in New York aimed at pushing companies and governments to act quickly to avert catastrophic global warming.

"These principles mean banks have to consider the impact of their loans on society - not just on their portfolio," Simone Dettling, banking team lead for the Geneva-based United Nations Environment Finance Initiative, told Reuters.
[.]
Under pressure from investors, regulators and climate activists, some big banks have acknowledged the role lenders will need to play in a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy.

Financing for oil, gas and coal projects has come under particular scrutiny as climate scientists step up calls to change the global economy's deep reliance on fossil-fuels to avert disastrous warming.

Mystery towers in Cincinnati causing concern. 5G danger?

WCPO 9 Cincinnati: Mystery towers going up all over Cincinnati area.

Homeowners worry about possible health effects.

If you drive around the Cincinnati area you may have noticed mysterious cylinder-type cell phone towers, that look nothing like any cell tower most of us have seen.

Now, a growing number of Tri-Staters are getting worried about these towers, and the 5G signals they believe they will soon be sending out, as part of the nationwide rollout of faster 5G cell service.

Michelle Krinsky is a nurse who was out walking near her Cleves home earlier this summer, when she looked up and said, "What's that? You can see it's this ugly menace sitting there," she said.

Right at the entrance to the Village of Cleves from US 50 (River Road) is the strangest looking cell tower many people have ever seen.
[.]
Krinsky decided to call the village administration office, then Hamilton County, and the State of Ohio, but no one knew anything about it, she says.

The most information she and some other homeowners were able to find out is that the tower is on the US 50 right-of-way, not in the Village, so that local officials would not have to be consulted.

"We don't know who put it up, if it is running 4G right now, and if it will run 5G soon," she said.
[.]
...the FCC allows these towers to go in with almost no local approval. The FCC and FAA claim there are no proven links between 5G cell service and health effects, and say local residents have no reason to fear these new towers.

But Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard told us a few months ago that even he, and other county officials are left in the dark.

"The ownership is a big question," Hubbard said. "And I have asked that. We are having a hard time finding out who actually owns it."

That means no one has publicly stated who owns the mysterious Cleves tower, or any of the others popping up across the Tri State. It has no company name on the base.

It's not that hard to find out who owns these towers. Hypothetically speaking, there are a lot of things someone could "do" to these towers and then sit around and wait to see who shows up to undo whatever is done to them.

I'm not advocating any type of property damage. That would be so wrong. There's plenty of alternatives available that one could "do" to these towers that doesn't involve any property damage. Then, wait around and see who shows up. Have your camera ready, remain on public property, start filming and ask questions of the people who show up. Note the vehicle license plate number and make, model, color and other identifying features.

That county board members are in the dark about these towers seems a bit...NWO-ish, doesn't it?

How safe is 5G? Search that subject and you'll find both pro and con, from "it'll fry us," to, "it's harmless." I'm undecided. Anyone?

I do think when we have concerns like those expressed over 5G, it's best to err on the side of restraint. We don't need another epidemic on our hands in five or ten years. It's not like technology has taken a back seat to law, ethics, safety and personal security.

Vice has a (five year old) story on What Wi-Fi would look like if we could see it. It's a good story, check it out.

Artist Nickolay Lamm imagines the size, shape, and color of wi-fi signals were they visible to the human eye.

Joe Biden says he never discussed Ukraine dealings with son Hunter.

A Steak Fry? Don't they know steak is killing Mother Earth?

Campaigning in Iowa this morning, DEM Joe Biden told FOX News' Peter Doocy that he, "never spoke with his son [Hunter] on any of his overseas business dealings."

This is more bullshittery from the doddering, hair-sniffn', groping ex-VP. 

We're to believe that not once, ever, did Dementia Joe discuss with his cokehead son Hunter, his job and work overseas. 

Uh huh. Because fathers never talk to their sons about the work they do. Ever. Or, this is another incident of Joe's senility kicking in again. Hell, Biden doesn't know if Vermont is a state or a town.

Let's give Pervy Joe the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he really never did speak with Hunter about his Ukraine business dealings. Instead, they used Flashcards.

The video and story is at Daily Beast.

In related news, there's a new toy available for Hunter Biden. It works on the same principle as the cat toy below.

But instead, for Hunter, little spoons filled with cocaine pop in and out, and he has to snort the Blow before it disappears back inside the shell.

Unconfirmed sources report that Hunter never leaves a spoon empty.

SUV crashes through Woodfield Mall, Chicago. Video.

Via News Breaking (NSFW - language):

Chicago Sun Times: Video shows SUV driving inside Woodfield Mall, crashing through displays.

Ronin Diedenhofen was walking through the lower-level of Woodfield Mall Friday afternoon when he saw an unusual sight: An SUV driving through the concourse.

At first, he thought it was being put out on display. Within seconds, he realized it was something different.

“It took me a minute to register what was going on,” said Diedenhofen, 19. “I heard a loud bang; it was the car hitting one of those little trains that kids usually ride in at malls. That was like, ‘OK, that’s not normal.’”

As it turned out, the driver had rammed through a side entrance to a Sears store just a few minutes earlier, around 2:20 p.m., on the east side of the mall near a Rainforest Cafe. From there, the 22-year-old man behind the wheel smashed into one store after another before crashing to a halt, according to Schaumburg police. He was held by shoppers — including two off-duty cops — and arrested minutes later by responding officers, police said.
[.]
Nathaniel Findlay, 21, was walking into the mall for the start of his work shift when he saw the SUV pull up to the Sears.

“He was approaching the door, and he came to a complete stop,” Findlay said. “I got a quick glance at him and you could tell real quick the gears were turning, he was thinking about it.

“And then he just accelerated right through the doors,” Findlay said. “He was not going to stop until he got inside that mall.”

Findlay went right back to his car and called his cousin who was inside the mall.

“Dude wherever you are, get down, get out,” he told his cousin. “There’s a car inside.”

Back inside the mall, Diedenhofen managed to pull out his cellphone and record much of the incident, later posting it to Twitter, where it quickly went viral.

“It was a safe distance away,” Diedenhofen said. “There was no way it would turn around and go for me, so I pulled out my phone and started recording.

“But you can even see on the video, I’m jumping back when he looks like he’s reversing, I’m not taking a chance,” he said. “It seemed like he was just trying to go for as much damage as he could.”

Facebook employee leaps to death from roof of corporate headquarters.

Daily Mail: Facebook employee jumps to his death from roof of company's Silicon Valley headquarters in apparent suicide.

A Facebook employee has died at the company's headquarters campus in Silicon Valley in what police call an apparent suicide.

Horrified bystanders in Menlo Park, California called 911 at about 11.30am on Thursday after an adult male jumped from the top of a four-story building on the 100 block of Jefferson Drive.

Paramedics rushed to Facebook's sprawling campus and rendered first aid, but the victim was declared dead on the scene.

The deceased individual has not been publicly identified pending family notification, but Facebook confirmed in a statement to DailyMail.com that he was an employee.

Zuckerberg may have to install suicide nets like Apple did in China to prevent employees from leaping to their deaths.

"Our AI wasn't programmed to identify suicidal tendencies."

MN Gov DEM Tim Walz bullies Twin City Public Television into deleting embarassing video of his wife, Gwen. Public TV happily agrees, playing the usual accomplice in continuing The Liberal Narrative.

Minnesota Public Radio Capitol View: Walz lends support to felon voting rights.

Oh - if it had been a Republican Gov asking Public TV to delete a video, the resignation would be over and the Lieutenant Governor already sworn in.

Alpha News: Twin Cities Public Television (aka TPT) Deletes Embarrassing Walz Video About Race and Incarceration.

“It’s taken care of … We talked to TPT.” According to [TPT's Sarah] Walker, [Kristin Beckmann, Deputy Chief of Staff for MN Governor Tim Walz] continued to say that “The TPT president has now apologized and agreed to destroy all of the videotapes that were made of the event.”

Gwen Walz (wife of Minnesota DEM Governor Tim Walz) is promoting programs where inmates can receive education behind bars, including technical certifications and their high school diplomas.
-
...a panel discussion was held, which including Gwen Walz and was taped by [Twin Cities Public Television].
-
[Moderator of this discussion Toussaint] Morrison ran with [questions] about race, and Gwen Walz appeared to be stumped. Some in the crowd felt she was sidestepping the race issue entirely.

Once the event was over, the Walz administration scrambled to get the video of the event deleted.

Kristin Beckmann, deputy chief of staff for Democrat Governor Tim Walz is alleged to have put pressure on TPT President and CEO Jim Pagliarini to delete the tape.

Sarah Walker, a former Department of Corrections (DOC) employee who was pushed out over a lobbying scandal, was also on the panel. Walker seems to suggest that her not properly defending Gwen Walz during that panel led to her eventual exit from the DOC. Walker told MPR that Beckmann, Walz’s deputy chief of staff, told Walker over the phone: “It’s taken care of … We talked to TPT.” According to Walker, Beckmann continued to say that “The TPT president has now apologized and agreed to destroy all of the videotapes that were made of the event.”

 MN Gov DEM Tim Walz (he wants to take your guns away, too.)

MPR News: Gov. Walz responds to criticism over deleted video: ‘I value transparency highly’.

Gov. Tim Walz defended his administration’s commitment to transparency Wednesday as well as his wife’s role in seeking changes to education offerings for Minnesota’s prison inmates amid a controversy over a testy forum of which video was later deleted.

“I will stand by that we’re as transparent as any administration, if not the most that Minnesota has ever seen,” Walz told reporters after touring the Minneapolis VA. He added, “I value transparency highly. I believe that I’ve lived that way.”
-
Republicans have harshly criticized Walz since the story about the tape deletion was published.
-
Walz struck back.

“Is their point that we don’t want to talk about race? Is their point that we don’t want to talk about prison reform? Because I had a bill to do both of those things that was not heard by the Republican Senate,” Walz said.

Walz said others involved in the event also pushed for the video to be discarded. He said the lack of signed releases from participants and attendees made it problematic to retain or broadcast the footage.

Walz feigns he "highly values transparency". Is there a more redundant, trite and worn-out platitude than that? There's no transparency in the Walz Administration. He isn't fooling anyone.

Walz's comment of, "Is their point that we don’t want to talk about race? Is their point that we don’t want to talk about prison reform," doesn't answer the criticism from the Republicans. Instead, Walz deflects to the issue of race. Ah, The Race Card. Well, what can he say? "My wife had no idea what she was talking about or the slightest grasp of the subject matter,"?

The Walz Administration and staff continues proving itself an unfunny comedy of errors, unprepared to govern, overwhelmed by the issues it faces and lacking the talent to successfully resolve anything.

Tim Walz succeeds at one thing: finding a camera and microphone when it's beneficial for him. Which is far too frequent than the exception. We can't really credit him much for getting one video deleted, but who knows? Maybe this is the first of more to come in the incestuous relationship of Public Taxpayer Subsidized Media continuing to carry water for the DEMS. This could Trend in the future.

We have more than three years left to live through the Walz Clown Administration. Hope your income and well-being is up for it.

John Bolton wastes no time telling us why it was a great idea that Trump fired him.

The Daily Mail: Bolton calls Donald Trump's efforts with Iran and North Korea 'doomed to failure' as he unloads on his old boss.

'[Bolton] ripped Trump, without using his name, several times,' one attendee said.

"'Without using his name...,' one attendee said."  Well, that's certainly solid, huh?

No matter. It's good Bolton, a trigger-happy, enthusiastic war-salivating globalist, is out of the picture. He's probably negotiating an hour long, nightly program with MSNBC to replace Dutch Maddox.

BBC: Ed Buck: Democratic donor arrested on charges of running drug den.

A wealthy Democratic donor has been arrested and accused of running a drug den after a spate of fatal overdoses at his home in California.

Ed Buck, 65, has been charged with administering methamphetamine, battery and maintaining a drug house.

Two men have died of overdoses at his West Hollywood home while a third survived after fleeing Mr Buck's apartment last week, prosecutors say.

Mr Buck's lawyer told CBS News he will fight the charges "vigorously".

Mr Buck, who is wealthy, politically connected and white, has come under scrutiny over the overdose deaths, which involved "vulnerable" black men.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said on Tuesday she remains "deeply concerned for the safety of people whose life circumstances may make them more vulnerable to criminal predators".

"With this new evidence, I authorised [sic] the filing of criminal charges against Ed Buck."

Prosecutors have asked for bail to be set at $4m (£3m), calling Mr Buck a "violent, dangerous sexual predator" who targeted the homeless and those battling drug addiction.

Mr Buck, an LGBT activist who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates, is expected in court on Wednesday. He could see a total of five years and eight months in state prison if convicted.

"From his home, in a position of power, Buck manipulates his victims into participating in his sexual fetishes," prosecutors said in court documents.

"These fetishes include supplying and personally administering dangerously large doses of narcotics to his victims."

The latest alleged victim, who is 37 and remains unnamed, was allegedly injected with high doses of "meth" at Mr Buck's apartment on 4 September, after which he sought medical attention.

He returned to the apartment on 11 September and was allegedly injected with meth again.

When the man believed he was overdosing, prosecutors say Mr Buck refused to help and "thwarted" his attempts to obtain assistance. The man allegedly fled and was able to call for help from a gas station.

Police investigating Mr Buck's apartment after the man's escape found hundreds of photographs of men in "compromising positions", according to the Los Angeles Times.

Inside Buck's apartment, from The Daily Mail:

In a photo obtained by DailyMail.com, Buck smokes meth with a painfully thin, drug-addicted homeless young black man in his apartment - a partner he had found on the street and offered $300 to carry out his bizarre 'fetish' requests. Buck ordered the man to wear dirty white long johns and black leather 'f***ing boots'

The Daily Mail link also has an image of a toolbox filled with toys and plugs, which I decided to exclude here.

From Open Secrets.

Not surprisingly, DEMS and organizations who accepted his money and political support amazingly avoided cameras and microphones regarding commenting on this issue. Well...what little coverage a complicit MSM is giving this story.

Where's Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? Why so silent? A wealthy, white privilege, DEM donor and supporter exploits and preys upon homeless Black men. In a Blue State, a Blue City and a Blue District. Isn't that 75% of the definition of "White Nationalism"?

Ric Ocasek of The Cars dies.

Daily Mail: Cars frontman Ric Ocasek is found dead at age 75 in his Manhattan apartment.

The former-lead singer of The Cars was believed to have died of natural causes.  Estranged wife Paulina Porizkova found him 'unconscious and unresponsive'[.]
[.]
The band originated in Boston in 1976 and two years later released their self-titled album which shot them to fame with hits that included 'My Best Friend's Girl.'
[.]
They produced six records from the 1978 to 1987 of which there were 13 top-40 singles.

In 1984 they won MTV's Video of the Year award for the song 'You Might Think' from their fifth album.

The band are most known for their song 'Drive' being used as the soundtrack for a CBS video for Live Aid that showed the horrors of famine in Ethiopia.

Winona Daily News: Cars' singer Ric Ocasek dead at 75.

Ocasek's minimalist, half-spoken deadpan vocals set made the band's sound, and his long, lanky appearance formed their lasting image.

The first three songs on their 1978 self-titled first album were all hit singles and remain widely known classics and oldies radio airplay: "Good Times Roll," ''My Best Friend's Girl" and "Just What I Needed."
[.]
They were always an MTV favorite, and the whimsical, partly animated video for "You Might Think" along with the mournful video for "Drive" brought them near-constant airplay on the channel in the mid-1980s.

The band broke up in 1988, but their influence would be deeply felt in the 1990s and beyond. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana covered "My Best Friend's Girl" at their last live show in 1994, and Ocasek produced albums for younger bands including Weezer, No Doubt and Bad Religion.

BBC: Eddie Money, Two Tickets to Paradise singer, dies at 70.

American singer Eddie Money, who had major US chart success in the 70s and 80s with songs such as Two Tickets to Paradise and Take Me Home Tonight, has died at the age of 70, [on Friday, September 13, 2019].

Money released 11 albums and sold nearly 30 million records in a career that spanned four decades.

More than anything, Money’s music was considered blue-collar at its core, which led him to be featured on “The King of Queens” in 2002, where he performed a selection of his hits for friend and star Kevin James.

Variety: Eddie Money, ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ Singer, Dies at 70.

Known also for his comedic manner, both in his music videos and in interviews, he said last year that, despite his string of hit songs, he “missed the boat when it [came] to the big money.” In his typically self-deprecating manner, Money capped the conversation with this view: “The kids aren’t in jail, they’re not in rehab, nobody’s wrecked the car this week and there’s still milk in the refrigerator. I’m having a good month.”

As with many singers and bands, some of the better songs didn't receive the air play they deserved:

"We Should Be Sleeping":

"I'll Get By":

And his Geiko Ad, which isn't mentioned in any Top Geiko ad story or article. Which means it is the exception to the rule, therefore automatically defaulting to being the Best Geiko ad ever. And yeah, it is. Don't disagree with me on this. Or I'll doxx you:

His music and videos were a staple of MTV. His tours always did well. He took his music seriously, but he had a sense of humor about himself. I think this is why he's so likeable. He only learned of the cancer three weeks ago. We never know, do we. Like Mr. $ said, "every day above ground is a good day."

He will be missed. More of his songs, videos, interviews and performances can be found on You Tube.

Julián Castro stood on a box during the third Democratic primary debate to help him look taller alongside the other candidates.

Castro joined nine other Democratic presidential candidates on the debate stage in Houston on Thursday. Castro, who is 5-foot-9, was one of possibly several candidates that stood on raised platforms behind their podiums. It was not immediately clear whether other candidates were also on boxes.

He uses one of these, too, at the table so he can reach his Sippy cup.

The accident happened around 8:45 p.m.  A spokesperson with the Minneapolis Police Department says there were no serious injuries reported and the crash is being investigated as a traffic accident.

The crash backed up traffic on the bridge for a short time but cars are once again moving past the crash scene.

Glad there were no serious injuries. A combination of a bridge, a pedal pub, mixed with traffic and large, heavier vehicles. At night. What could possibly go wrong? Who could have seen this coming? I mean...it's Minneapolis...

Video captures moments man crushed by elevator at Manhattan Promenade building.

NY Post: Graphic video shows moment man crushed by elevator at Manhattan Promenade building.

One of every New Yorker’s worst nightmares played out Thursday morning when a Kips Bay man was crushed to death by an elevator in his luxury high-rise as his horrified neighbors looked on, authorities said.

Sam Waisbren, 30, clawed desperately to escape the packed lift as it plunged from the lobby into the darkness of the shaft below, but he was crushed between the elevator car and the shaft wall, according to officials.

“The guy literally was trying to climb out onto the floor while the elevator was still [moving down],” said a building worker, who witnessed the death and asked not to be identified. “It’s awful.”

The horrific scene, which played out at the 23-story Manhattan Promenade tower on Third Avenue near East 25th Street just after 8:15 a.m., was captured on building surveillance footage exclusively obtained by The Post.

As one woman stands waiting, the elevator door opens into the lobby and a man wearing a backpack emerges, then wheels around as the lift gives way and Waisbren and five others go rocketing downward, the clip shows.

Waisbren instinctively shot out his right hand to grab the frame of the elevator door and tried to plant his right leg onto a sliver of lobby floor, but was immediately overpowered.

“His initial reaction was to put his arm out . . . so he could get off,” the building worker said. “At that point, the elevator took him down. Jumping out [of] the car while it’s still moving, you just don’t want to do it.”

Advisory - The video is graphic and NSFW. You can't "unsee" it, so think carefully before deciding. (There is no audio). Video located after the Pagebreak.

Adam Schiff congressional seat challenged by drag queen Maebe A. Girl who says, "America disgusts me."

DEM Adam Schiff vs drag queen Maebe A. Girl. Cat-fight?

Route Fifty: First Drag Queen Elected to Local Office Is Making a Run for Congress.

Maebe A. Girl, the self-described “larger-than-life” candidate, is challenging one of the current stars of the Democratic party.
[.]
“It’s essential that we get more queer representation in public office, especially at the national level,” she said. “We need more everyday people in Congress—its overwhelmingly older, white, wealthy men, and that’s just not representative of America, or my district.”

But it’s not going to be easy. The incumbent in the 28th district is Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a well-known critic of the Trump administration who has represented part of the Los Angeles area since 2001, and won in 2018 with over 75% of the vote. Plus, Girl is not the only challenger—four other candidates have signed up, including one other Democrat, an independent and two Republicans.
[.]
Girl describes herself as transgender and genderfluid (a term that encompasses people who do not ascribe to a particular gender) and said that running under her drag stage name drew some criticism. “People will say ‘I can’t take her seriously with that name, but it’s really just a statement about gender norms. I don’t feel like there’s a difference between Maebe A. Girl and me,” she said, making the comparison to celebrities like Lady Gaga, whose adopted names have come to define them.

Sanders' $16 Trillion Green Scam.

Chattanooga Times Free Press: Sanders touts $16 trillion climate plan in fire-ravaged town.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released a $16.3 trillion climate plan on Thursday before touring a Northern California town ravaged by wildfire, declaring the setting a "wake-up call for our entire nation" to the dangers of a warming planet.

"Climate change is a major, major crisis for our country, and the entire world, and one of the manifestations of that crisis is what happened here," the Vermont senator said as he walked through a burned-out mobile home park in Paradise alongside people who lost their homes in last November's deadly blaze.

Sanders' climate plan calls for the United States to move to renewable energy across the economy by 2050 and declare climate change a national emergency.

When has anyone, especially a Liberal Full-Fledged Socialist Bernie accurately predicted the cost of something? Yeah, his plan will come in on time and on budget. Much like California's Train To Nowhere, as just one example.

Is Bernie sure $16 Trillion is enough?

Smart Ovens Turning Themselves on and Preheating during the night. Manufacturer blames other apps.

The Verge: Your smart oven might be more ready for breakfast than you realize.

Multiple people report that their June Smart Oven turned on by itself during the night and preheated to 400 degrees, perhaps in eager anticipation of the meal it might soon cook. June did not issue a statement regarding the potential cause of this heating fiasco, but it told The Verge that user error was to blame.

In one instance, June blamed the Amazon Alexa integration for the preheating and in another instance said the user may have tapped something within the app that triggered the preheat functionality. In only one case did June send out a new oven, but the company said it was due to “unrelated issues.” The events have users concerned.

"Blame the Other App." Way to go PR Department of June.

One could consider unplugging the oven. This may trigger the physical act of reprogramming when plugged back in. Gee, can the App Dependent Generation burn one calorie by the intense manual labor required to reprogram it? If you get short of breath, sit down, relax, you'll be okay. Really. There's an App for that.

The self-activation, preheating and possible fire is the least of the worries. The smart oven is probably spying on those who own it. It's recording their words and movements. It's monitoring everything they do. And it's talking about them behind their back with the smart fridge, Alexa, the Flat Screen and all the other Black Mirror devices. And their car, and gas, water and electric meters. Wave to the hidden cameras in the ovens, Fitbits, cell phones and flat screens. Your life is being live-streamed on the Dark Web. Yeah, the camera does add ten pounds, but don't worry, ya look fine.

Amusement ride shut down; people see swastikas.

Gizmodo: Swastika Ride Shut Down at German Amusement Park After Going Viral on Social Media.

A new ride at a German amusement park recently raised quite a few eyebrows on social media for its bizarre design. Now the ride, called the Adlerflug or “Eagle’s Flight,” will reportedly be shut down after so many people pointed out the obvious: The ride looks like two giant swastikas.
[.]
Rüdiger Braun, the director of the park, has apologized for the swastika ride and insisted to the local Bild newspaper that, “We didn’t notice the gondolas are in the form of a swastika. It wasn’t obvious from the manufacturer’s sketches.”

Braun has reportedly proposed giving the ride three “spinning eagles” instead of four, which he says, "will have this problem under control."

San Fran sanitizes language of criminal justice system.

San Fran Chronicle: SF Board of Supervisors sanitizes language of criminal justice system.

The words “felon,” “offender,” “convict,” “addict” and “juvenile delinquent” would be part of the past in official San Francisco parlance under new “person first” language guidelines adopted by the Board of Supervisors.

Going forward, what was once called a convicted felon or an offender released from jail will be a “formerly incarcerated person,” or a “justice-involved” person or simply a “returning resident.”

Parolees and people on criminal probation will be referred to as a “person on parole,” or “person under supervision.”

A juvenile “delinquent” will become a “young person with justice system involvement,” or a “young person impacted by the juvenile justice system.”

And drug addicts or substance abusers will become “a person with a history of substance use.”

“We don’t want people to be forever labeled for the worst things that they have done,” Supervisor Matt Haney said.
[.]
The nonbinding resolution passed last month.

The mayor didn’t sign off on the new language proposal.

"Liberals" will still be referred to as "Shit-For-Brains".

Vacationing Chicago Mayor asks legislature for power to tax high-end professional services and big-ticket home sales.

Chicago Sun Times: Mayor Lightfoot to ask legislature for power to tax high-end professional services and big-ticket home sales.

[Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot will ask the legislature] to help Chicago dig out of a $1 billion hole — by empowering the city to tax high-end professional services and raise the transfer tax on big-ticket home sales, City Hall sources said Monday.

The vacationing mayor plans to make those requests during a fall veto session, when she also will seek a Chicago-only casino gambling fix.
[.]
Lightfoot wants state authorization to tax high-end professional services and raise the real estate transfer tax on the sale of $1 million-plus homes. The mayor once earmarked that tax for homeless services and affordable housing.

Sources said the mayor is prepared to portray those two local taxes as the only alternative to a dreaded property tax increase she wants desperately to avoid after former Mayor Rahm Emanuel doubled the city’s levy.
[.]
[House Minority Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) said], "I just don’t see my caucus embracing either of those two concepts[".]

Kristen Cabanban, a spokesperson for the city’s Office of Budget and Management, had no immediate comment on the mayor’s impending request.

Biden draws crowds in the teens. Biden tells Peter Doocy, "I'm a big boy."

Biden attracts crowd "in the teens" on Tuesday in Iowa.

Joe Biden surprised to hear his crowd size is not the largest:

Video via You Tube

FOX (via Archive): Biden says he's a, "big boy." Gets testy when Fox News reporter disputes claim he draws biggest crowds in Iowa.

"What I'm trying to do is go around from town to town and I'm drawing as big of crowds, or bigger than anybody," Biden said in Iowa on Tuesday. "Have you seen anybody draw bigger crowds than me in this state?"

"Yes," Doocy responded before noting that he saw a bigger crowd for Sen. Elizabeth Warren when she visited Des Moines in January.

"The vice president didn't seem to like that because a few minutes later, he singled me out," Doocy said on "Special Report."

Biden told Doocy he was a "big boy" and could handle Doocy allegedly coming after him. "I mean, I know you, I know you're going to go after me no matter what I've got. Yeah, you and it's OK. Good. I'm a big boy. I can handle it," he said.

Biden makes a statement that is factually incorrect, gets questioned on it, and his response is, "you're going to go after me." If Joe could say something accurate, there wouldn't be a need to question him. Joe doesn't understand this. He's entitled to his own facts propaganda - and no one can question him.

MMS - the same as drinking bleach?

Medical News Today: FDA warn about 'life threatening' side effects of 'miracle' cure.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) news briefing concerns a product called Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), which is widely available on the internet.

The product appears under a number of names, including Master Mineral Solution, Miracle Mineral Supplement, Chlorine Dioxide Protocol, and Water Purification Solution.

Although the FDA have not approved the product, sellers promote it variously as antimicrobial, antiviral, and antibacterial.

Promoters advertise MMS as an effective treatment for a range of conditions, including cancer, HIV, autism, acne, malaria, flu, Lyme disease, and hepatitis, despite no evidence from medical research.
[.]
    "[I]ngesting these products is the same as drinking bleach. Consumers should not use these products, and parents should not give these products to their children for any reason."

    -- FDA Acting Commissioner Dr. Ned Sharpless

Individuals who have taken MMS have supplied reports to the FDA. The subsequent list of potential side effects includes severe vomiting and diarrhea, life threatening hypotension (low blood pressure), and liver failure.

I understand people seeking out anything as a 'miracle cure' when no other relief can be found, but bleach?

Biden Future Gaffe. Regrets banning Michael Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Breaking News Israel: Obama-Biden Admin banned Michael-Ben Ari in 2012.

Following Israel’s ban of congresswomen Ilhan Omar (Democrat, Minnesota) and Rashida Tlaib (Democrat, Michigan), 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden took to twitter saying: “I have always been a stalwart supporter of Israel—a vital partner that shares our democratic values. No democracy should deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas—even ideas they strongly object to. And no leader of the free world should encourage them to do so.”

Ironically, Joe Biden was Vice President when Obama banned entrance to Israeli parliament member Michael-Ben Ari in 2012.

“This is the typical hypocrisy of the Democratic party” Ben Ari told Breaking Israel News.

“I wan’t being investigated and I never even said anything negative about the United States. I was not a member of any terrorist group despite what they were saying. The decision was completely arbitrary. “He (Biden) is now decrying precisely what his administration did to me.” he added.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

If it were a non-farcical aquatic ceremony, would it be an acceptable form of government?
